Managing Spoolers, Queues, and Logical Printers

Deleting the Spooler

Use -c server with the pddelete command to permanently delete the

spooler. The spooler and any of its queues cannot contain jobs; you must

allow the jobs to print or explicitly delete jobs from the spooler and its

queues using the pdrm, pddelete, or pdclean commands before you can

delete the spooler.

Deleting a spooler deletes all of the objects it contains, such as queues or

initial-value-jobs, from the HPDPS database. You can create archive ﬁles

for the spooler and the objects it contains before you delete the spooler.

See “Creating Archive Files for Spoolers, Queues, and Logical Printers”

earlier for a description of how to create these ﬁles.

To delete the spooler Spool1, enter:

pddelete -c server Spool1
